Regulation 16 - Shipboard incinerators

 Regulation 16(9) reads as follows:

 Monitoring of combustion flue gas outlet temperature shall be required at all times and waste shall not be fed into a continuous-feed shipboard incinerator when the temperature is below the minimum allowed temperature of 850°C. For batch-loaded shipboard incinerators, the unit shall be designed so that the temperature in the combustion chamber shall reach 600°C within five minutes after start-up.

 Interpretation:

 The minimum stabilized combustion chamber flue gas outlet temperature of 850°C is equally applicable to continuous-feed and batch-loaded shipboard incinerators. Monitoring of the combustion flue gas outlet temperature shall be required at all times for both types of incinerators.
